96 John, nothing is more important than the safety of Hoosiers.
As Governor, I will put forward a bold agenda to protect Hoosiers from
violent crime, drugs, and the dangers crossing our southern border.
We will introduce initiatives focused on increasing support for law
enforcement, addressing the fentanyl crisis, and enhancing measures to
protect our schools and children.
My proven track record in the Senate serves as a solid foundation for
the ambitious public safety plan I intend to implement for Indiana,
demonstrating my unwavering commitment to the safety and security of all
Hoosiers.
I hope you’ll take a few minutes to read my Public Safety Plan below!
-Mike Braun
1. KEEPING OUR COMMUNITIES SAFE
We must always put the safety of Hoosiers first, no exceptions. As
Governor, if you commit a violent crime, assault our law enforcement
officers, or distribute lethal drugs like fentanyl and methamphetamine,
then you will face the full weight of Indiana’s justice system.
My commitment is to the safety and security of all Hoosiers, upholding
law and order, and ensuring that our state remains a safe haven for
law-abiding citizens.
2. STANDING WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT
A Braun administration will steadfastly support our law enforcement
community. We will propose significant salary increases and advanced
training opportunities for Indiana’s law enforcement professionals.
My administration is committed to ensuring that our officers have the
resources and backing they need to perform their duties without being
second-guessed or undermined by politicians and the media. Our officers
deserve unwavering support as they safeguard our communities.
3. SECURING OUR SOUTHERN BORDER
A Braun administration will prioritize the security of Hoosiers by
advocating for and supporting state-based solutions to crack down on
illegal immigration.
We will streamline collaboration between state and local law enforcement
and enhance state police interdiction powers to crack down on drug
trafficking. I pledge to protect our communities by enacting policies
that keep our state safe and secure, making Indiana unwelcoming to the
criminals who cross our southern border.
4. BACKING THE BLUE ACROSS INDIANA
Mike Braun will ensure that law enforcement professionals across the
state receive the support, respect, and resources they deserve.
As Governor, I will champion policies that enhance officer recruitment
and retention, improve law enforcement training and equipment, and
support officers’ mental health and well-being. My commitment is to make
Indiana a national leader in law enforcement support, ensuring our
officers have the backing they need to do their jobs effectively and
safely.
5. ENHANCING SALARIES AND BENEFITS
As Governor, I will prioritize the enhancement of salaries and benefits
for our law enforcement officers. We will introduce a comprehensive pay
reform that aligns state troopers and local law enforcement officers
with competitive standards, including cost of living adjustments,
competitive salaries, and comprehensive benefits.
My commitment is to ensure that Indiana becomes a model state for law
enforcement compensation as a recognition of their invaluable
contribution to our safety and security.
6. STRENGTHENING THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM
My administration will be dedicated to ensuring that our criminal
justice system is fair, effective, and upholds the safety and security
of all Hoosiers, leaving no room for politics or incompetence that puts
Hoosiers in danger.
We will empower the Governor’s office with the authority to remove and
replace state-funded prosecutors who fail to uphold their duty to the
community. Furthermore, we will advocate for stringent,
non-discretionary minimum bail requirements for violent crimes and
habitual offenders, ensuring that dangerous individuals are detained
pre-trial.
7. ADDRESSING THE DRUG CRISIS
A Braun administration will prioritize a comprehensive state-wide drug
interdiction strategy spearheaded by the Indiana State Police, in close
collaboration with local law enforcement agencies and prosecutors.
My pledge is to confront the drug crisis with the full force of the
state’s resources, ensuring that Indiana becomes a leading example of
effective drug prevention, enforcement, and recovery, safeguarding our
communities from the scourge of illegal narcotics.
8. TACKLING MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES
A Braun administration will significantly invest in local treatment
facilities, ensuring that individuals with mental health issues receive
the care they need without placing an added burden on the criminal
justice system.
My administration will be committed to treating mental health with the
seriousness it deserves, transforming our approach to ensure that those
in need receive help. We will work tirelessly to break the cycle of
incarceration for mental health issues, thereby improving public safety
and community well-being across Indiana.
9. ENSURING SCHOOL SAFETY
School safety in Indiana is fragmented across multiple agencies, leading
to potential gaps and inefficiencies in protecting our students. The
complexity of modern threats demands a focused and unified response to
ensure the safety of our children in their learning environments.
To address this, a Braun administration will establish the Office of
School Safety, centralizing responsibilities currently spread across the
Department of Homeland Security, Department of Education, and Indiana
State Police.
This office, led by a professional experienced in both emergency
response and the K-12 environment, will streamline efforts, ensuring
every Hoosier student benefits from the highest standards of school
safety.
10. PRIORITIZING TRAINING FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT
A Braun administration will focus on elevating the standard of training
provided to Indiana’s law enforcement.
Increased collaboration between state and local law enforcement at the
Indiana Law Enforcement Academy will help deliver the most advanced
policing techniques and increase cooperation in the field. This will not
only reinforce our officers’ preparedness but also ensure they are at
the forefront of modern law enforcement practices.
11. PROTECT QUALIFIED IMMUNITY
I will defend and protect qualified immunity for law enforcement
officers in Indiana. Our commitment is to provide our officers with the
confidence and legal safeguards they need to make decisions in the best
interest of public safety.
By protecting qualified immunity, we affirm our trust in and support for
the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep us safe,
ensuring they have the necessary protections to act decisively and
within the scope of the law.
12. ENDING SANCTUARY CITIES
A Braun administration will take decisive action to end sanctuary city
policies in Indiana, emphasizing a united front in protecting the rule
of law and ensuring the safety of all Indiana residents.
We will equip our state and local law enforcement agencies with the
necessary technology and tools to effectively combat the criminal
elements tied to illegal immigration, safeguarding our communities from
the dangers posed by sanctuary policies.
